Hazelnut-Chocolate Chip cookies

Ok, so I found this recipe on Epicurious.com.. as I said on Sunday, I was interested in making either brownies or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. So I decided to make these Hazelnut Chocolate chip cookies that I found and I think the hazelnut added a great taste to ordinary chocolate chip cookies. Even though I make several not so healthy desserts, I do try to shop at Whole Foods, and purchase all my ingredients from them, then everything I bake is organic.

This recipe is great, and it was a hit at my little get together the other night.
1 1/2 all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup creamy hazelnut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi sweet mini chocolate chips
1. Sift together flour,baking soda, baking powder and salt 2. Beat both butters and both sugars in a large bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in egg and vanilla. 3. Beat in the flour mixture and stir in the mini chocolate chips 4. Refrigerate dough for about 2 hours 5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line or grease 2 baking sheets. 6. You can use a tbsp or small ice cream scoop, arranging scoops of the dough 1-inch apart, and bake cookies one sheet at a time for about 12 minutes. Let cool and enjoy.
